Women’s social and economic equality starts with universal childcare. “Fiscal credibility” frames it again as an expense rather than an investment.
This is a huge, huge let-down. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Another broken pledge by UK Labour!
A tsunami of broken pledges - again.
Remember the universal childcare for children over 9 months? Not happening.
In the last weeks the reversal to both climate finance, and universal childcare.... #LabourFail

May Day Greetings to all. Solidarity✊🏼 'Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

⚠️ TOMORROW ⚠️ at 3pm the government will be testing its new emergency alert system. If you are a survivor of #DomesticAbuse and have a secret or secondary phone, find out how you can disable the alerts youtube.com/watch?v=I2MBcH…

On the 23rd of April the government is doing a test for emergency alerts which will make a loud siren-like sound. If you have a phone hidden from an abuser turn off 'Emergency Alerts' via settings to prevent it becoming detectable - this might vary based on Android and iPhone.

📢 The #EmergencyAlerts sound will take place this Sunday at 3pm, even if your phone is on silent. If your phone is switched off it will sound when switched back on. Here is an #Apple guide so you can opt out of alerts to keep your device from being detected. 🔄Pls share.

Pregnant women in prison are SEVEN times more likely to suffer stillbirth.

When courts sentence pregnant women to prison, they could well be sentencing them to a stillbirth too.

This is why we’re campaigning to stop imprisonment of pregnant women.

Mums and babies gather this morning outside the Royal Courts of Justice with No Births Behind Bars to demand the Sentencing Council put an end to imprisonment for pregnant women‼️

Following the BBC's irresponsible response I've written to the Director General demanding urgent education on the impact of language to those responsible for signing off the 'context'

It's time we start reporting domestic abuse with the severity it deserves.

My letter in full👇

Fiona Bruce stands down as Refuge ambassador - our statement following Thursday's BBC Question Time: bit.ly/3mO04qM

Please join us to oppose the illegal, immoral, cruel and divisive Illegal Migration Bill.

#InternationalWomensDay this week and #bbcqt Fiona Bruce trivalises violence against women:

Stanley Johnsons friends say 'it was a one off' that he broke his wife's nose

Disgraceful.
DV is rarely a one off - no quote of the reality from Charlotte Fawcett 'he hit me many times'

The narrative that domestic abuse can be dismissed as a one-off is harmful and influences how seriously the public take abuse.

➡️Domestic abuse is rarely a 'one-off', it's often part of a pattern of behaviour.
